Sarah Herron is grieving the death of her infant boy who passed away soon after being born at 24 weeks’ gestation.
The 36-year-old Bachelor alum announced the passing of her newborn child in a devastating post on Wednesday.
“On January 28th, at 24 weeks old, our beautiful son Oliver Brown was born,” she began in the caption. “He passed away in his dad’s arms shortly after.”
Herron tweeted an emotional snapshot of herself cradling her child on her chest while her fiancé Dylan Brown kisses her forehead, his hand resting next to Herron’s.
“There are no words for the magnitude of loss and pain we’re experiencing. It’s beautiful and simultaneously tragic,” she continued.
“He had my nose and his dad’s mouth and long fingers.”
“Oliver, our IVF miracle defied so many odds and fought through so many hard milestones to be here, but the higher powers still had other plans for the three of us.”
“He has taught us so much about the integrity of life, love and death. Oliver filled our home and hearts with so much love and most importantly, optimism.”
“The stars aligned to create Baby Oliver with a deep, meaningful purpose bigger than we’ll ever understand. His body was small, but his legacy will always be larger than life to us.”
